Antisemitic Propaganda In European Establishment Circles
by Arnon Yaffe, reporting from Paris

In Holland, Central European Bank Director Wim Duisenberg consented when his wife hung a Palestinian flag from the balcony of their Amsterdam apartment. Over the course of several weeks the flag she originally acquired through a Palestinian support organization led to a scandal over antisemitic remarks made by Mrs. Duisenberg and the use of her husband's senior position for anti-Israel propagandizing.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Keeping Cool

by R' Zvi Zobin

Are you cool? Perhaps you are chilled. You might even be a real hood.

Fifty years ago, they called it `being hip.' Twenty years later, the `in thing' was to be `with it.' Perhaps, by the time this article is printed, there might be a new cliche to express someone's being a member of the `elite,' leading, trendsetting part of society -- or perhaps it might be more accurate to say the group of people who imagine that they are the elite, leading, trendsetting part of society.
